law had been repealed. He ex-
pressed his profound conviction
that if the fourth section was enacted into
law It would prove disastrous to the
great interests of the country. He be-
lieved it to be reactiorary in char
acter and evolutionary of all sound
principles, and its rigid enforce
ment would demoraliZe and cripple
| both the internal and external commerce.
He argued that while the section did
not mean a uniform rate pei ton per
mile, it did not mean a uniform per ton
station. The fourth section would work
q distinct reversal Of that under which
! the great communities west OF the Mis-
| sissippi had grown up.
| Mr.. Morrill, said he had reached the
conclusion that it was his duty to vote
to recOmmit the bill. He was satisfied that
the eff ct of the fouth section would
be an increase of the rates of freight for
long hauls, and possibly those for short
hauls al>o. 1t would not require very
| large percentage to turn the balance
against the United States, and if that
should occur i would derange not only
the business of the country, but the gold
and silver currency of the country.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

Washington, EeD. 10, 1887.
Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the
Treasury:
NV Dear Sir-Your formal letter of
resignation, which l have received,
though not entirely unexpected, pres
ents the reality of Il severance of our
official relations and causes mo the
deepest regret. This is tempered only
by tho knowledge that the frank and
friendly personal relations which have
unbrokenly existed between us are to
still continue. / refer to these because
such personal relations supply, after
all, whatever of comfort and pleasure
the world affords, and because feel it
to be almost impossible to shake off
the aid and support you have given
me and the assistance you have fur,
government during the time you have
directed the affairs of the eXacting and
laborious office which you now seek to
surrender, HOur labors, your achieve
ments, your success and your devotion
to public duty arc fully seen and known
and they challenge the appreciation
and gratitude Of all your countryrnen.
Since 1 must at last relinquish my
hope of your continuance at my side as
counselor and co -laborcr, and since l
cannot question the reasons upon
which your request to be relieved is
based, it only remains for me to accept
the resignation you have rendered and
to express my profound thanks for all
that you have done for me in sharing
manfutiy the iabors and perplexities
of the past two years. 1 feel that
may still ask of you that the first day
of April next be fixed as the time at
which your resignation shall take
effect, and that you will so regulate
what remains to you of official duty in
the meantime as to secure that measure
OF freedom of vexatious labor which
you have so justly earned.
With my earnest hope that in the
new path of life you may hereafter
follow there may be allowed to you
more of comfort and ease than con-
scientious discharge Of duty here
permits, l am very sincerely your
friend, GROVER CLEVELAND.

McENERY REFORMS.
Homer G uardian.1

llOhSC
We arc often directed to the great
reforms McEnery has affected. The
reduction of taxation and sound finan.
cialcondition is attributed to the COVER
nor's policy, when there is not single
proof that his acts have led 10 this
result. The State constitution reduced
and fixed the limit of State taxes at
six mills on the dollar. This is the
most important provision to the people
that there is in the constitution. In
stead of tho governor guarding this
most important article, he has repeat
edly recommended that State board
of equalization be created, and that on
the avowed reason that tho six mills
on the assessment was not sufficient TO
run the government. He declared the
State would bankrupt unless more was
had, and to get il a State board must
be created in order TO raise ASSESS
ments. Such have been his rec
concentrations on this subject.
The general assembly refused to
create the State board as advised by
the executive, and Notwithstanding
the governor has by his efforts secured
additional thousands of dollars to rad
ical bondhotders and made other un-
just drains on tho treasury, the six
mills has been sufficient. If he had
got his pet scheme of State board of
equalization he would have had rich
fund to deal out, as political exigencies
might require.
The government might do we'll un-
der this state of things, but how would
the people do? McEnery looks after
the interest of the government. We
want a governor who will look after
the interest of the people.
a State board of equalization, So
called, as recommended by him, is n
misuomer. 1t should be entitled u
proposition to supercede the consti-
tutional limit of taxation. If the State
is doing well, financially, it is in spite
of the present administration, and not
through its agency. Will these adj,
ministration organs specify one single
act of the Governor to sustain their Oft
repeated assertion that he has brought
ii to a sound financial condition?

FUSS AND FEATHERS VERSUS FACTS.

There has been time within the re-
cent history of the Ouachita Valley
when the tide of railroad excitement
overwhelmed its people. There was
much Of speech-making, we werefed on
tons Of promises, and then followed
cords of enthusiasm. And the fever wax
ed hot. The friends Of enterprise and
progress wrought nobIy and zeaIousIy.
Petitions were circulated. An indiffer-
ent, If not recalcitrant police Jury was
reconciliated. The signatures to the
petitions were canvassed and verified
at great pains and labor. An election
was duly called, and subsidy of five
mills for ten years was voted by the
people of Ouachita parish and the city
of Monroe, to the company represented
by General John III. Rice, of Fort
Scott, Kansas. Up to this period there
was no end to the assurances of Gen.
Rice.
"Vote the subsidy and you shall
have the road.''
There was no reservation about this
promise. 1t was clear, explicit, en-
phatic. Under the terms of this guar~
antee, 1t was anticipated that some
practical step would be taken in the
direction Of construction at once.
Has anything been done?
Has preliminary survey been
made?
Has such survey been ordered

A BUILDING COMMITTEE.

Some Of our citizens are.agitating tho
question of forming building associa-
ton at this place. A building associa-
ton has for its object the accumulation
of funds to lend to its members. The
funds are accumulated by monthly
payments in small amounts of the
shares taken by each member. The
money is sold, at stated intervals, to
the higest bidder. The member bor-
rowing the money pays interest on it.
This interest, together with the monthly
assessments, is agsin loaned.
1t is stated that there are over three
hundred of these associations In Phiia7
delphia, and that they have enabled
thousands Of working people to build
homes for themselves, at Il cost and on
no more onerous conditions than the
rents of the same houses would have
amounted to. Every progressive town
in the North has its building associa-
ton. There is one in Vicksburg, and
ono in Meridian, Miss. These two
have not only been Of great benefit to
the borrowing members, but have
proved exceedingly profitable investe
ments for the non>borrowers. A citizen
of Monroe owns five shares in the Me-
ridian association, on which he has
paid out $500, in monthly assessments
Of 81. and fO,dpv his five shares are
worth $50. At the end OF the year he
will receive from the association $1,000,
in cash, at a cost to himself of 1860.
Those who favor this enterprise are
requested to meet at the Office of Judge
T. A. Garrett, next Thursday at 7,3O
p. M, when explanation of the object
and scope of the association will be
given.
